Sassuolo is among the clubs interested in Toulouse's Venezuelan midfielder Cristian Cásseres Jr., a group that also includes Lens, Genoa, Lille, and Olympiacos. The 26-year-old is in the final year of his contract, and his departure from the French club is a possibility. According to sport.fr, discussions between Olympiacos and Toulouse are at an advanced stage, and the player could travel to Athens in the coming days to finalize a deal. In contrast, lesviolets.com claims that Cásseres previously rejected an offer from the Greek club after Toulouse had reportedly accepted a bid of around €10 million. According to the same source, Lille and Lyon are monitoring his situation, while Actu Ligue 1 reports strong interest from Lille, though no formal proposal has yet been made. The Venezuelan international has 48 caps and one goal for his country and joined Toulouse from New York RB in July 2023 for a reported fee of €1 million. In January 2026, Toulouse reportedly rejected an €8 million offer from Sevilla. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €9.00m.
